Resumo: The organization is a well known big centre/clinic for adults with different psychological and psychiatric problems (from people with personal problems to severe psychiatric disorders). Each year about 1700 people apply for an intake from which most of them have chosen freely to be treated in the clinic. (only 150 of them are forced intakes) The total capacity is 600 beds. In KLIMOP, ex-patients (120 members, 50 different people present on a half day basis) attend activities.

Perfil: Volunteers should have some knowledge of computers : surfing the internet, e-mail and preferably also MS-Word. No expert-knowledge is required. The volunteer will learn how to explain in a simple way the basics of the use of internet, e-mail and MS-Word. Eagerness to learn and to share knowledge is a big asset. The volunteer can learn a lot by browsing the help-function and searching FAQ's.

Volunteers should have respect for all patients in the Centre and like to work with them. They should be open to work with different kind of people with psychological or psychiatric problems. They should act openly and easlily in quite a big and complex organisation and infrastructure.
Age: 18-30

Tarefas: The Centre which has over 600 beds and 1700 intakes is installing possibilities for computer and internet access for the patients. The international volunteers will help in the continuation of this activity and will help to introduce the patients to the world of IT.

The aim is to help the patients to get introduced in computering, e-mailing and internet and to set up programs for them. Since there are many patients and the population is changing constantly, there are many possibilities for different activities related to internet and computers. The basics of the program are established with the volunteers during the first years of the project: the infrastructure is in place and there already is a culture and set rules of internet activities by patients. The concept is clear and well laid out. But every year changes are made in the way things are done depending on the wishes and capacities of the volunteers.

The volunteers work only with patients who are socially and mentally capable to participate on the PIC project. At every time the volunteers are guided by professional nurses or counselors and are not involved in any assisting medical or caring activities.

First of all, the volunteer will be involved in thinking about how he (she) will contribute to the concept. This could involve assisting the IT-staffmember in installing extra-computers. The way the project evolves very much depends on the capabilities, the vision, the goal of the volunteer. The volunteer has a chance to turn this project into his (her) own project, so there is a lot of room for input by the volunteer. This will take an average of about 20% of the time: thinking, implementing, evaluating, adapting - and communicating about this with the mentor.
The volunteer will be mainly involved in educating the patients and adapting the project. He will be assisting the IT-staffmember of the centre in teaching the patients.
1) how to work with the computer
2) how to handle the internet,
3) how to use the E-mail. He will do this in 2 locations:
1) several departments of the hospital (every department asks a different approach)
2) patient house 'Passant' where former patients stay before they move back into society. This is a sort of community house where also one multimedia computer is available.
The volunteer will also supervise the use of internet by the patients in order to assist them in case of ‘how to’ questions. The patients can simply come to the multimedia computers and use the internet and e-mail. The volunteer will help out and guide where necessary.

Horário: Working hours: 7 hours a day, 5 days a week (35 hours a week). Now and then there will be evening work. This is to be decided on together with the volunteer and is always compensated for during the week.
